black and brown kids, white kids only with white kids. how do we both capture what was good here, but also say, we need the resources? >> yeah, so, there is no doubt about the fact that we need the resources. if we're going to prepare children to be competitive in a global economy, it means that computers and technology have to be part of the way we do business. it means they have to be in state of the art facilities, it means they have to be project-based learning, where they actually get to interact with other people and what not. but the thing they liked most about first class is, it really told the story of the teachers. dunbar was great, because its teaching force was great, its principles were great. and the thing that i think we're finally having real conversations about is who is in our classroom, teaching our children. these people were not just accomplished, they lived in the community that our young people lived in and so there were connections. they also communicated that they cared about these young people. they held them to

primarily a response to people recognizing that the democratic future of this country is black and brown. particularly in the republican party. they're caught between this rock and a hard place, pleasing their center base kind of core constituency, and appealing to the people who they know they're going to need to win future elections. that is the same thing that franklin roosevelt, that harry truman, that lyndon johnson and that all of them were trying to figure out in the 1930 through the 1960s. and and what's so amazing about this analysis is that it moves us away from thinking of racism as like holding the sign that says, you know, president obama is a muslim immigrant. i mean, okay. whatever, right? because though people weren't going to vote for the president, you know, anyway and they weren't going to support ft.'s policies, because that's just sort of an old-fashioned version of racism. but this notion that race has structured who we are is more complicated to come to terms with. and i think more complicated for us to therefore generate new structures around. >> yeah, i think, yo
